1. Stand on one leg and shake the other. (Hold onto a chair
if you need to.) When you put your foot back on the ground, it’s going to feel
lighter than the other one. Now, switch legs and shake. You want your energy to
go through the floor and out of your head. This sounds a bit weird; it isn’t.
2. Shake your hands… very fast. Hold them above your head,
bending at the wrist and elbow and then bring your hands back down. This will
make your hand movements more natural.
3. Warm up your face muscles by chewing in a highly
exaggerated way.
4. Do shoulder and neck rolls.
5. Warm up your eyes by looking at a clock. Look at 12, now
move them to 3, then down to 6, up to 9 then 12. After doing this 3 times,
reverse the direction 3 times.
All of these exercises serve to warm up and relax you. Those
larger-than-life movements make it easier for your actions to flow more
naturally. Now you can concentrate on your message and connecting to the
audience.
